LIZ HITTIN HARD IN THE FEELS š omg I loved this book so much. Iām not sure I even have the words to fully express how much these characters will live rent free in my mind. Miller wants so badly to feel like she deserves her dadās love & Kai wants to be the best father for Max he can. I loved that Monty basically already thought of Kai as a son even before he and Miller fell in love. And Max calling Mills āmamaā- ugh my heart š„¹š„¹š„¹ I need to get a physical copy because this series needs to live on my shelf so I can read it again and again.

This was the perfect ending to the Cove series! Cage, Presley, and Gracie were so sweet together. I loved the tension & banter. They both obviously feel things very deeply and it resonated throughout the book. Watching Presley become a mama in her own right to Gracie was so freaking sweet š„¹

Holy crap. This was amazing. I loved the twist that came at the end. Iām so excited to see how Violet and the others react to it in book 3. I need it asap. There were so many good moments throughout the book. Andarna and Tairn are such a delight- I love their personalities. All the stars.

Second read through and I loved it just as much this time. Lauren Fortgang is an amazing narrator & makes the story come alive. Lara and Aren are incredibly complex characters who both have to learn to trust. The scene that he saves her from drowning is seriously one of my favorites. I love this series š©µ

I really enjoyed the finale of the SPC series and Iām kinda sad itās over. Iāve really liked all the characters and journeys theyāve been on. Edenās is one of learning to trust and be vulnerable again after trauma, which I know is something so many people can relate to. I loved watching Clay and Jade break down her walls & seeing them become a family was so beautiful. The way they loved Jack and vice versa was amazing. A really perfect ending.

Marriage in crisis is a hard trope to pull off well, but I think Ana nailed it. Alessandra and Dom were both well developed, obviously had chemistry, and their path back together was an emotional roller coaster. The groveling was excellent & there were so many swoon worthy quotes throughout! I didnāt really care about Roman and that whole story line- it just didnāt add anything to the story for me.

I donāt even have the words for how obsessed I am with this book. I devoured it the last 2 days. Violet and Xaden have my heart. I am obsessed with the dragons. I love how deeply Violet feels her emotions and that she never backs down from defending those she cares about. And that ending?! O M G. I cannot WAIT for Iron Flame!!!

I donāt know how she does it, but Kandi never fails to write beautiful and relatable characters that rip your heart out and put them back together. Grace shows up on her brothers doorstep after a break up looking for familiarity and comfort only to end up on a spontaneous road trip with one of his teammates. Jaxson is such a delight, he never tries to dull who Grace is and just lets her feel everything. Their connection is perfect and their chemistry is off the charts. The airport goodbye shredded my heart but watching them come back together was PERFECTION. I loved everything about this book.

I adored this book! Maven and Vince were so much fun- they had incredible chemistry, the banter was amazing, and the way they supported each other was so, so perfect. Vince built her a whole freaking plant room in his house š„¹ I loved the side characters & how well they all fit together. Liviaās take on Mavenās past trauma was so spot on & I feel like everyone needs a friend like her. Iāll just be over here loving everything Kandi writes. šš„¹

I liked this one, just maybe not as much as the first two. I donāt know that the character development went in the direction I thought it was going to and Iām now so confused about whatās actually happening with Adela, Vi, Taaven, and Eira. I need book 4 already so I can figure it out!
